Citing, among others, GMU Econ grad Ryan Young, the New York Sun editorializes insightfully on Andy Stern’s recent paean in the WSJ to the large remaining communist part of China’s communist government. (HT Mary O’Grady)

New Orleans got its Saints in 1966 through a classic Louisiana political maneuver. The NFL needed an anti-trust exemption to merge with the AFL, but the powerful duo of Sen. Russell Long and Rep. Hale Boggs — both of Louisiana — stood in their way. A deal was done.

The NFL got its merger, and the city got its team. Just two weeks earlier, voters had approved the money to build the Superdome.

Ugh. And I’d much-prefer that the Saints leave New Orleans than the citizens of Louisiana be taxed to further subsidize that franchise in any way. (The late Hale Boggs, btw, is the father of NPR’s Cokie Roberts.)
